The church carries the family name Tsinamdzghvrishvili and stands in Tsinamdzghvriantkari village. The family name and the village name sound almost alike: both come from the word tsinamdzghvari, an abbot.
The church of St Nicholas stands about seven hundred and ten metres away, that of St George eight hundred and thirty, and the Galavani churches less than a kilometre off. In all, this valley gathers about a dozen shrines.
The church is rural and its gates are opened by arrangement. The rules are the usual ones: covered shoulders and knees, a headscarf for women, quiet. Family churches stay in the care of their kin, so the candles and what is left by the walls are better left untouched.
